The issue is that the loader doesn't properly cope with the case that
the payload overlaps with coreboot and starts at a lower address.

That happens on some AMD boards (with RAMBASE at 2MB, for whatever
reason) and FILO (which has a huge .bss section that moves well into
coreboot's memory).

Any other configuration should not run into this issue, and for AMD, it
should be enough to move RAMBASE to somewhere else (both 1MB and 4MB
worked for me) as a workaround.
